“Brian, I can not thank you enough for all that you have shared with me over the past week via your philosophers notes. I found a link to them and have listened to about 80% of them with the last few coming in right now. I am an audible.com junkie and have been listening to constant audio books and pod casts for the last 5 or so years but your information is hands down one of the best that resonate with me. so thanks. it is so great to hear your ideas on these books and then how they relate to other books and ideas. It helps that I have a similar goal and starting point in my beliefs. I am all for the creation of wealth (not individually but as an idea for helping humanity) and find your ideas on this refreshing.”

For those who want a focus on the useful, compelling parts of books in a pithy, engaging style, you can do no better than to read Brian Johnson's PhilosophersNotes.”
